Dental implants need to be sterilized before the crown is placed.
Dental implants consist of an implant, a restorative abutment and a restorative crown.
The upper part of the implant can be restored about three months after the implant has been placed. After the doctor has taken an impression of the implant, the restoration is handed over to the technician for fabrication, which consists mainly of the abutment and the crown. Generally, the technician has to sterilize the model before fabrication, and after fabrication, the model abutment and crown are sterilized twice to avoid cross-contamination during the fabrication process.
After fabrication of abutments and crowns, the doctor will sterilize them again before fitting to ensure safety and avoid cross-contamination.
Dentists have a high concept of sterility, crowns will be sterilized before installation, the installation of crowns if there is any discomfort, should be timely follow-up examination and treatment to avoid adverse effects.
